Tornadoes

Today, Nashville set a record high of 72F. I knew it was going to end badly.

OK, that's not quite true, but I always perk up when it goes from cold to warm anytime between November and April. I grew up in Huntsville, and it's pretty much a tornado-fest down there. In 1989, we had one of the world's deadliest storms. It killed 21 people, all told. However, when you live in a city that gets that many tornado watches and warnings, you tend to get desensitized to the "threat" of severe weather.

I'm watching the Weather Channel right now, and they're freaking out. Apparently, this is one of the top five tornado systems on record. So that's fun. I hope it doesn't hit us again because frankly, I'm going to bed. And no severe weather can stop me.
